--description--
Build a full stack JavaScript app that is functionally similar to this: https://american-british-translator.freecodecamp.rocks/. Working on this project will involve you writing your code using one of the following methods:
- Clone this GitHub repo and complete your project locally.
- Use our Gitpod starter project to complete your project.
- Use a site builder of your choice to complete the project. Be sure to incorporate all the files from our GitHub repo.
--instructions--
- All logic can go into
/components/translator.js
- Complete the
/api/translate
route in/routes/api.js
- Create all of the unit/functional tests in
tests/1_unit-tests.js
andtests/2_functional-tests.js
- See the JavaScript files in
/components
for the different spelling and terms your application should translate - To run the tests automatically, set
NODE_ENV
totest
without quotes in the.env
file - To run the tests in the console, use the command
npm run test
.
Write the following tests in tests/1_unit-tests.js
:

/api/translate
- Translation with text that needs no translation: POST request to
/api/translate
--hints--
You should provide your own project, not the example URL.
(getUserInput) => {
assert(
!/.*\/american-british-translator\.freecodecamp\.rocks/.test(
getUserInput('url')
)
);
};
You can POST
to /api/translate
with a body containing text
with the text to translate and locale
with either american-to-british
or british-to-american
. The returned object should contain the submitted text
and translation
with the translated text.
async (getUserInput) => {
try {
const text = 'Mangoes are my favorite fruit.';
const locale = 'american-to-british';
const output = {
text: 'Mangoes are my favorite fruit.',
translation:
'Mangoes are my <span class="highlight">favourite</span> fruit.'
};
let data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/translate', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text, locale })
});
let parsed = await data.json();
assert.isObject(parsed);
assert.property(parsed, 'text');
assert.property(parsed, 'translation');
assert.deepEqual(parsed, output);
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
}
};
The /api/translate
route should handle the way time is written in American and British English. For example, ten thirty is written as "10.30" in British English and "10:30" in American English. The span
element should wrap the entire time string, i.e. <span class="highlight">10:30</span>
.
async (getUserInput) => {
try {
const text = 'Lunch is at 12:15 today.';
const locale = 'american-to-british';
const output = {
text: text,
translation: 'Lunch is at <span class="highlight">12.15</span> today.'
};
let data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/translate', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text, locale })
});
let parsed = await data.json();
assert.isObject(parsed);
assert.property(parsed, 'text');
assert.property(parsed, 'translation');
assert.deepEqual(parsed, output);
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
}
};
The /api/translate
route should also handle the way titles/honorifics are abbreviated in American and British English. For example, Doctor Wright is abbreviated as "Dr Wright" in British English and "Dr. Wright" in American English. See /components/american-to-british-titles.js
for the different titles your application should handle.
async (getUserInput) => {
try {
const text = 'Dr. Grosh will see you now.';
const locale = 'american-to-british';
const output = {
text: text,
translation: '<span class="highlight">Dr</span> Grosh will see you now.'
};
let data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/translate', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text, locale })
});
let parsed = await data.json();
assert.isObject(parsed);
assert.property(parsed, 'text');
assert.property(parsed, 'translation');
assert.deepEqual(parsed, output);
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
}
};
Wrap any translated spelling or terms with <span class="highlight">...</span>
tags so they appear in green.
async (getUserInput) => {
try {
const text = 'Mangoes are my favorite fruit.';
const locale = 'american-to-british';
const output = {
text: 'Mangoes are my favorite fruit.',
translation:
'Mangoes are my <span class="highlight">favourite</span> fruit.'
};
let data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/translate', {

headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },

});

assert.isObject(parsed);

} catch (err) {

.

let data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/translate', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ locale })
});
let parsed = await data.json();
assert.isObject(parsed);
assert.property(parsed, 'error');
assert.equal(parsed.error, 'Required field(s) missing');
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
}
};

is empty, return { error: 'No text to translate' }
async (getUserInput) => {

assert.isObject(parsed);
assert.property(parsed, 'error');
assert.equal(parsed.error, 'No text to translate');
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
}
};
If locale
does not match one of the two specified locales, return { error: 'Invalid value for locale field' }
.
async (getUserInput) => {
try {
const text = "Ceci n'est pas une pipe";
const locale = 'french-to-american';
let data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/translate', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text, locale })
});
let parsed = await data.json();
assert.isObject(parsed);
assert.property(parsed, 'error');
assert.equal(parsed.error, 'Invalid value for locale field');
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
}
};
If text
requires no translation, return "Everything looks good to me!"
for the translation
value.
async (getUserInput) => {
try {
const locale = 'british-to-american';
const output = {
text: 'SaintPeter and nhcarrigan give their regards!',
translation: 'Everything looks good to me!'
};
let data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/translate', {

headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text: output.text, locale })
});
let parsed = await data.json();
assert.isObject(parsed);
assert.isObject(parsed);
assert.property(parsed, 'text');
assert.property(parsed, 'translation');
assert.deepEqual(parsed, output);
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err.responseText || err.message);
}
};
All 24 unit tests are complete and passing.
